    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    No worries, I couldn't recall if the board had it's own, but now remember that it did. I'll want to make sure it's seeing itself as operating properly, as I believe it also had it's own battery backup attached. I'm guessing it'd probably be good to power the machine up for a while to get that...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Ok, good to hear someone's 'real world' scenario. I seem to recall it booted from the array, but I could be mistake. But I'll definitely be visiting the motherboard BIOS first (no doubt the clock is wrong) so I'll check the whatever it thinks is the boot order. I'll do this BEFORE putting any...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I have a set of disks that used to be in an Areca RAID. They've been disconnected for quite a while (several years), and I don't know in what hardware order they were connected. Do I have to reconnect them in their original order, or will the controller be able to figure it out and reassemble...

    Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh Performance

    Before you get too choosy, better check on availability. Phanteks were sold out when I was buying a month ago. Maybe that's changed, don't know. Sure, the omission of the USB cable is annoying but, in retrospect, I'm not sure how much I'd be using a top-mounted USB socket. Most stuff goes...

    Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh Performance

    I've got a build going with this case. Overall I'm pleased with it. I don't have high demands planned for this. Mainly it'll be serving up a bunch of movies and run some minecraft servers for the kids. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/wkearney99/builds/#view=sdMcCJ The glass panels are...

    Need a recommendation on a good USB Hub

    Correct, these two are just that, just two four port hubs, one slung off the other: Amazon.com: HDE 7-Port SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Hub with Individual On/Off Switches, 1.75ft USB Data Cable, and 5V 2A Power Adapter Included: Computers & Accessories http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VK9PRIU Are...

    What is the longest monitor arm I can buy

    When the arm is extended it puts a lot of force against whatever is being used to mount it. A desk or other sort nightstand/table would have to be VERY heavy to offset the forces involved. I'm sure there's a formula somewhere for it (length of arm, weight of materials, etc). There are such...

    What is the longest monitor arm I can buy

    The difficulty comes with mounting something like that. The stresses involved with extending an arm out that far are going to be pretty significant. Definitely something that'd likely require lag bolt mounting into at LEAST two wall studs. That and there's considerable risk of injury to...

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    That looks almost exactly like a QNAP NAS. I know, I have their TVS-671 unit. That looks a lot like their 8-bay unit, with the LCD of course. Given the overlap and outright piracy on the part of many Chinese vendors it could just as easily be a copy.

    wrt firmware router for gigE switch and usb?

    They're small units, the power strip sized kind, so they don't have a slot for a network module.

    wrt firmware router for gigE switch and usb?

    I'm entertaining the idea of using a wrt-based firmware on hardware and use just as a 4 port gigE switch and a monitor for a USB-connected UPS. I don't need wireless at these locations, just the ability to run the apcupsd daemon. I could, of course, just use a separate switch but it seems like...

    Why would my internet IP keep changing?

    You mention actiontec, is this a fios connection? If so, consider ditching their supplied router and use one of your own. It's possible, even if you have fios set top boxes (but it does take some router configuring). That and you can connect the actiontec (or any other router) to the fios...

    Ok, I've ordered the M5M. I'll report back how it goes.

    intel 530 vs plextor m5m for mSata replacement?

    I've an Intel 80gb 310 (ssdmaemc080g2) mSATA drive in a T420 laptop. I'm running out of space on it. There's a 2nd 500gb regular drive for all the big storage, but the boot, OS and programs are creeping up a bit too close on the 80gb (less than 2gb remaining). I'm leaning toward either an...

    remote setup of linux crashplan?

    I'm guessing there's "something else" necessary, port or protocol-wise. Because, as I posted, I'm getting a connection that the CLI can use, but the full UI doesn't succeed in logging in. I've tried connected through a different ISP and met with the same lack of success.
